Thanks for everything you’ve brought to Maxus JC – you’ll be missed.

Wow, the leadership transformation at GroupM is quite incredible. Must be incredibly destabilising…

Didn’t Maxus just lose AGL and also SC Johnson earlier in the year? Another CEO dumped then in what is a nasty agency world these days.. why don’t these head office people ever learn and just say that, rather than spin some BS about ‘new ventures’
